With LJ's performance since being at the helm seems we are amongst the wrong group. That said I'd have us longer odds than we are; but I'd have others longer odds than even us.

cityexile Posted May 17, 2016 Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 Other than the top four and the bottom two, the whole field is between 20:1 and 33:1 so it is pretty much a 'no one knows' book at the moment. Only one that jumps out to me is Wolves third favoriate to go downl Some mistake surely. Teams still involved in play offs also not included yet.

The bookies will be rubbing their hands expecting a glut of outside bets from people hoping their team can do a Leicester. Although I do believe a few betting companies have said they won't offer 5000-1 again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bookies lost anywhere from £10m to £25m on Leicester winning the Premiership, depending on which newspaper you read. They made a lot of money on individual match bets through the season and took money on bets for other teams winning the league, but due to the amazing odds of 5,000 - 1 on Leicester, they had a net loss on the league winners bets. A typical quote from Simon Clare of Coral’s: “The total ante-post stakes on the Premier League are actually quite small. Our total was £1m across both retail and online, which pales into insignificance against what we take on Saturdays on the three o’clock kick-offs. But no bookie can ever have seen losses like this on the singles market on one league, because you would never take the stakes, or lay prices like this. We’ve done £2m,(loss) so across the industry, it’s possibly £20m. (loss)” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingswood Robin Posted May 17, 2016 Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 Not sure about our odds, but our ranking in that list looks about right. We've only got half a team and I am a little concerned about the change to the loan system. Our recent adventures in the championship have been heavily dependant on loans. There are so many players we need to bring in, I am hoping that there are three teams left in the championship that depend on loans even more than us. Lets hope all this talk of us being the talk of the championship actually comes to something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever the real figure, this was spread over most bookies. The only bookies likely to not have made a loss were the small independents with the odd shop here or there. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/05/02/leicester-city-win-premier-league-and-cost-bookies-biggest-ever/ http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/9689fb6a-0e15-11e6-b41f-0beb7e589515.html Individually, William Hill made a £2.2m loss. Coral made a £1.7m loss. Skybet made a £4.7m loss, with similar figures for other bookies.
